Oregon State University intends to contract for the provision of equipment for high resolution profiles of velocity and acoustic backscatter from NortekUSA Inc as a sole source because of the uniqueness (design, capability, nature) of the goods and/or services. The instrument must have 5 acoustic beams that can sample at 8Hz, use Pulse-Coherent processing with Multi Correlation Pulse Coherent processing (MCPC) to reduce phase ambiguity, and have ability to sample high-resolution backscatter with an "echosounder" mode. The instrument manufactured and distributed by NortekUSA Inc is the only one that can meet all these requirements. An entity may appeal this determination in accordance with OSU Standard 03-010. Section 5.17 no later than the closing date indicated on the website. Appeals must be submitted to Procurement, Contracts and Materials Management at pacs@oregonstate.edu by February 9, 2024 at 9:00 am, PST. For additional information please contact Brian Kinsey by email at brian.kinsey@oregonstate.edu or by telephone at (541) 737-1027.
